Investment and superannuation platform provider, HUB24 has announced partnerships with fund managers, Southeastern, Arnhem, and AllianceBernstein to expand stock portfolios for Australian investors.
HUB24 managing director, Andrew Alcock said the new partnerships would allow the company's advisers and clients to gain exposure to offshore markets.
